The elevator stopped on the first floor. The waxed marble paving diffusely reflected the dazzling light of the crystal lamp above, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, all of which showed the dark luxury.
Wen Siheng led her straight to Cartier.
"Hello, we would like to choose a matching ring." He went straight to the point.
It turned out to be this, Jian Anran suddenly realized.
"Actually, it's already in the hardware just now, so you don't need to buy this."
She tugged on Wen Siheng's sleeve, pulled him down a little, and whispered in his ear.
"This is different." Wen Siheng looked thoughtfully at the row of rings the teller took out.
"The gold ring is a bit too eye-catching." Wen Siheng picked it carefully.
He wants to wear a wedding ring when going out?
In the end, they settled on a pair of classic silver rings with a halo of diamonds on them.
The style is very low-key, but full of luxury.
"Do you think it's a bit too high-profile for a university professor like you to wear this?"
Jian Anran raised her hand and looked carefully at the ring that was shining on every side.
"Don't underestimate the professors of the Department of Architecture." Wen Siheng raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes.
He took out his bank card and handed it to the teller.
In addition to teaching, most professors in the Department of Architecture also have personal studios, work on projects, or provide engineering guidance, and their income is not too low.
"I'll treat you to a cup of milk tea later." Jian Anran pulled Wen Siheng to the elevator.
The upper limit of consumption level is there, but she always feels that she has to pay something to feel at ease.
In the quiet confined space, Jian Anran could hear her own heartbeat clearly.
There is no pattern at all.
Does she need to get an electrocardiogram? Recently, she always feels that her heartbeat is not normal.
Walking to the checkout counter of the milk tea shop, after hesitating for a while, Jian Anran said to the clerk: "A cup of pine needle thickened milk."
"What do you want?" she asked Wen Siheng, turning her head.
He squeezed the bar, looked at the menu on the screen and said slowly: "Let's add fresh milk to the frozen top."
There were not too many people in the shopping mall on weekdays, and the milk tea was quickly obtained. After taking a sip, Jian Anran couldn't help but sigh: "It really tastes good."
Wen Siheng sucked the pearl slowly.
Playfully, Jian Anran reached out to hold his wrist, quickly lowered her head and took a sip of the milk tea in his hand. After succeeding, she took two steps quickly and turned back to Wen Siheng, who looked confused.
"Yours isn't bad either." Jian Anran pretended to be calm.
"It's really sweet," he said nonchalantly.
"Plop--" It's like a stone being thrown into a calm pool, causing ripples in the water to spread out in circles.
An abnormal blush appeared on Jian Anran's face.
Looking up, Wen Siheng was smiling slightly.
The relationship between them is so natural that they look like a couple who have been together for many years, and they have a perfect understanding of each other.
Walking aimlessly in the mall, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, and the natural sway of their bodies caused their bodies to touch each other from time to time.
No one deliberately avoided it.
Passing by a game console store, Wen Siheng reached out and pulled Jian Anran's cuffs.
"Go in and have a look."
The tall figure in front of him skillfully walked through the dazzling array of shelves, and Jian Anran followed him silently.
Wen Siheng stopped suddenly, and Jian Anran bumped into his back.
Jian Anran almost stumbled as she ducked back out of habit.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he grabbed her arm tightly.
They stayed in this awkward posture for a while, and Jian Anran blushed and whispered "Thank you" before returning to the original state.
Wen Siheng's eyebrows raised into a beautiful arc and he squatted in front of the shelf in front of him.
Jian Anran didn't know much about game consoles, let alone what the big PS5 on the box was. She only vaguely remembered that her brother had been chattering to her about the release news.
"Tell me," Wen Siheng turned around, "Would it be better to buy the digital version or the CD-ROM version?"
It did involve her knowledge blind spot, Jian Anran shook her head in embarrassment.
Answered frankly: "I don't understand."
Will the other person think that she is a boring girl? Does she have nothing in common with him?
Jian Anran still doesn't understand why she suddenly thinks like this. It is obvious that their relationship does not need to have too many topics in common.
"Then it should be the optical drive version." Wen Siheng picked up a PS5 from the shelf.
On his way to the counter to check out, he stopped in front of another shelf.
The red and blue color game console is the switch that was very popular a while ago.
Ning Beibei once enthusiastically invited her to play Animal Crossing together. At first, Jian Anran had not heard of this game.
After some searching, I found out that this is a game called "Animal Crossing", where you grow vegetables, fish, build houses and make furniture on random islands.
Due to its marginal relationship with the architecture major, it was once popular in their department.
Jian Anran searched for the price of the switch game console once and then quit.
The machine costing more than 3,000 yuan was more expensive than her monthly living expenses.
Without much hesitation, Wen Siheng casually picked up another switch and several boxes of game cartridges to check out.
Jian Anran was still a little surprised to see Wen Siheng being interested in things that only people who felt like his brother would like.
It turns out that the elder is not completely sparse in food and water and does not eat fireworks.
She always thought that Wen Siheng was the kind of academic who couldn't hear what was going on outside the window, but she didn't expect that he was actually a game fan?
Or maybe it was because she had always made her own decisions and trapped Wen Siheng in her imagination.
In fact, to be honest, she didn't know him at all.
"Is there anything you want to buy?" Wen Siheng turned around and asked her.
Jian Anran shook her head. According to this trend, no matter what she wanted to buy, Wen Siheng would probably pay for her.
Accept it for no reason, accept it with shame.
Her pride does not allow her to accept expensive gifts from others.
Silently, they walked to the underground garage together.
Wen Siheng opened the navigation search box and paused with his fingertips.
"Where do you live?"
"My home?" Jian Anran was a little confused.
"I'll take you back."
"I'll go back to the dormitory, take me back to school."
He pointed at the back seat, and Jian Anran followed the direction of his fingertips and looked at the back seat. There were piles of golden and red gift boxes, all of which were ginseng, deer antler, foreign wine, and white wine.
Going back to my hometown to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year is not such a big deal.
"After telling my mother about us, she insisted that I send these to your house." Wen Siheng smiled helplessly.
Jian Anran just noticed that when he smiled, he had two shallow dimples on his lips.
"Ah?" Jian Anran shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, no."
"Don't you realize what this means?" Wen Siheng suddenly became serious, the light in his eyes seemed to dim for a moment, and he looked at her seriously.
"What?" Jian Anran tilted her head and smiled, pretending to be calm.
